A new order has been established in the Iranian parliament — from now on, deputies cannot use mobile phones inside the parliament building, local media reports. The decision, made by Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has sparked public discussion in the country.

Final conclusion: The decision to ban mobile phones in the Iranian parliament may seriously affect the activities of deputies. Experts and the public are following this news with interest, as life itself will show how it will influence the lawmaking process and state governance.
